El liderazgo para el cuidado como generador de confianza en el profesorado chileno

Leadership for care refers to a set of practices that promote comprehensive well-being (emotional, social and academic) within the school community. In this context, this article seeks to recognize the extent to which teachers perceive and value practices (or actions) of care and trust on the part of their directors. A quantitative approach was used, by applying a questionnaire to 333 teachers from the Metropolitan Region of Chile. The results indicate that teachers positively value the competence and integrity of their school directors; however, the dimensions of esteem and respect, although valued positively, show lower scores.
